An Invasion of a "STRANGER" Kind.... NEW THREAD IS UP!! Go Thee NOW!

[KatMark]

You two!! You're making me laugh!

In fact, I think I"m getting punchy! I need to get some sleep, it's after midnight here. WE've had a long day. My daughter nearly put her eye out with a piece of wire int he garden today, I ran my Week 4 Day 2 run earlier, cooked up some wicked tasty Bulgogi , and crepes for dessert, worked on the quilt I'm selling, oh yeah, taught quilting today too, and introduced my kids to Peter, Paul and Mary. I've been listening to Puff the Magic Dragon for hours now. Time for bed!

Sweet dreams, friend.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

That was quite a day!!! You are amazing.

Go to sleep now...good night and sweet dreams, Liesa.

 

[All7OfUs]

Thanks, Ladies!! Been a fun evening, for sure!

As soon as I am done IMing with my son's girlfriend I'm hitting the hay. Nighty, night!

OOOOH GREAT UPDATES!

Awwww, shucks!

I feel like I'm famous or something.

I am so excited for our meet and super excited that Maroo might be joining us, I've lurked on some of her TRs.

Okay, I have to be honest. I'm a little shy in person, I'm worried I'm going to disappoint you.

Oh and I finally looked up what animals are on the Pangani trail and it's the one with the gorillas and meerkats. I'm very excited about the meerkats, they are just too adorable.

because you are!

 

[that's nice]

WOW! And they ended up with not one lefty kid! Amazing! And sad.

What kinds of events are they? Weddings? proms?

I won't worry, but I will miss you! Post when you can, we'll leave the lights on- figuratively speaking.

Yes, you do need to finish; we need the grand finale(s).

It was very weird that the 3 of us are righties.

I had a school outing in the afternoon and a prom tonight. Tomorrow a wedding, off on Sunday.

I REALLY want to get this TR done. I have only 4 more days to go.

Don't believe her, LL is utterly charming, and I didn't think she was overly shy when I met her at all. Your going to have a lovely Dis meet.

Love the dancing girls in your siggy!

Hey, Cynthia!! Hope your weekend is getting off to a great start! Lots planned??

I'd say! I wonder how those genetics work?

Sounds like you're going to need that day off come Sunday!

4 DAYS??!! Anyway, I'd think you'd want to s t r e t c h it out to make the magic last longer. But then again, maybe you're anxious to start your MAW PTR??

Here it is, the final installment of A Peek Inside Minnie. Do you know why I"m particulary excited for this installment? Because I can finally bind up Minnie in the proper fashion, so her parts are all in one place. I finally have her nicely filled out, just the way I want her, and am ready to punch her holes and slip that metal O-Ring binding around her neck. Geez, that sounds painful. I'll try to be careful. The only thing I'm a little worried about is thinking of something later on that I wished I had in there- the only remedy I can think of for that is to slip in a blank piece of paper (or 3) into the Extras section and handwrite it out later.

Let me remind you of her Chapters in full. Maybe your memory will be jogged, and you can spare me the deep emotional pain of leaving something out that should have been there:

Each Park's Top 10/Must Do's

Each Park's Exhaustive Lists of Hidden Gems to find

Each Resort's Top 10/ Must Do's

Meal Planning Section (ADR #s, EPCOT Drink (I"m going to add others around the prop. I have my eye on, OOP budget, CS ideas)

Souvenir Section (Pressed Pennies, General Souvies, WS Shopping Spree List)

Extras

Packing Lists (Carryon, Checked Bag, Toiletries, Groceries, Gift Bag Items (not showing this), Clothes)



Remember, Minnie is mostly a reference volume, and I still have ALL of "Mickey" to go. But he is more of a hands-on type of book, in which I'll take my actual notes and stuff...


Now, onto the business at hand:



See how blank this page is?? It's still a work of art in process! And best of all... IT"S FOR YOU!! Here's where I want to write all the things YOU would love to have me see and do for ya'll! I know Tinkgurl has mentioned a couple of things, as has Jordan. Anyone else have certain pictures you want? Prices you want?? Someone I should say HI to?? Just let me know! I'll categorize them by Park and Resort just for you.



Here's for my photo themes. Some are as yet to be determined, but I've already mentioned Fountains, Hats, and DETAILS!!! Any more nominations?



Onto the Packing Pages: (Feel free to give suggestions or point out stuff I've missed!)














What am I missing?? Anything stand out as a glaring omission??

Hope you're all having a superb weekend full of all kinds of exciting adventure!! Until Monday morning my time...


Also, wanted to slip in that I had some extra time today, and got such fun feedback from my last update, that I gave my blog another fun update! If you're into camels, this one's for you!

I've been following along, but work has seriously gotten in the way
Today is catch up day!

I love your packing list. You're so organized!

Hey There, Jennifer! Welcome back! It has been a while, but hope that those links in the TOC will help you out some. I understand how work ebbs and flows; I'm about to have a long spell of hard work (and less DIS time) myself coming up. Plus, a 2 week vacay. SOOOOOOOO... no worries. There's lots of fun in between stuff, but at this point, that may be a bit overwhelming.

I know I'm forgetting something- well, probably a lot of somethings, but there's always the Disney shops- and the Disney prices.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Light Fixtures! You need to take photos of light fixtures. I'm only slightly obsessed with them.

A two week vacation sounds lovely! We have 5 more weeks of school and I'm counting down the seconds!

BTW, I love the links. I've been able to catch up quickly!

I really like your list of souvenirs around the world. Pick a Pearl in Japan is my favorite.

OK! That was a no-brainer, Chickie! Now, are there any that you DON't have that you've been dying to have in your collection?? Someplace in our ADR line up you haven't been yet??

Well, I hope it will be nice. We're going to Kygyzstan, and although the "resort" looks nice, I fear we're getting cream of wheat for breakfast every day for 8 mornings, Russian borsch for lunch for 8 days, and baked chicken or ground beef patties with mashed potatoes for dinner for 8 evenings. The food usually sux at these places. Ah well.... at least it's away from here, and I get to see my son graduate from high school on the way.

 

[All7OfUs]

Alrighty then!! I'll wait anxiously and put it on the listoid right away.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Hopefully I'm looking at the most up to date ADR list.

Beaches & Cream

Biergarten

Saana

Trails End if you go.

Oh no! Maybe the food will surprise you
And congrats on your son's graduation. That's exciting!

It's an exciting year of massive changes for our family this year. Adventure? We'll see...
